In general I've always done better with a little more drop than with a gun where I can see much if any rib at my crawliest point, and the joe average 1.5 x 2.5 works. So when I picked up an LC Smith with 2 3/4" of DAH and a Fox with 3" of drop I was surprised. My initial reaction was, "I can shoot these!" That will soon be proven or disproven as winter is finally easing up here.
